How long did your order take from the first rail departure to delivery? Mine hit KZM today. Hoping it moves quickly...

It all depends on where you’re located. East coast and midwest seem to be moving very quickly but everything out west is taking 2 to 3 weeks.

8 days. During part of its journey it only went 25 miles in about 28 hours, from one Chicago suburb to another. I think it switched railroads there. Then went to drop yard in Council Bluffs Iowa. Truck to pick it up was delayed couple of days because of a snow storm. Mine was a "hot vehicle" from FCA, drove out of the factory onto the railcar.

They have zilch once out the factory door. Dealer can tell you exactly where it is and an updated ETA.

I'm really curious where it will go next from Kansas City.... I wish there was an automated way to track these things. I know we don't have access to Rubicon VLS but damn... I wish there was some kind of Data API we could consume.

Does the KZ status mean that my Jeep is just sitting in the rail car? Or is it actually moving somewhere? It’s been sitting in KZ since 2/14 and Jeep chat is not showing an eta for delivery yet.

There's frequently a letter after KZ but the reps don't give it out sometimes.. you have to ask for it.

I’ve asked them today as far as the specific status that it’s in and they just say it’s in KZ but do not give any other information.

You might have to try another rep. But if it's literally just KZ and there's no "S" after it, then it hasn't shipped. I always had to ask for the letter after the KZ specifically to get them to give it to me, and some wouldn't... YMMV. Mine went from KZ to KZ S in a matter of a day or two.

Good to know! I’ll try calling back to see what they say :) there’s no way it’s just sitting in KZ for 10 days now.
